Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 153 Evil Thoughts

"What's going on? The North American distribution rights for The Crying Game have already been sold?"

In the Miramax offices in Manhattan, New York, Harvey Weinstein looked incredulous.

He didn't care much for this feature film written and directed by Neil Jordan, but after seeing the finished film, he felt differently.

Bob Weinstein shrugged, "It was Suguang who acquired the North American distribution rights for $400 million;"

"And they've also promised to push 'The Crying Game' into the Oscars."

The current exchange rate of the British pound to the US dollar is about 1:1.8. The shooting cost of "The Crying Game" is less than 250 million pounds, which is about 450 million US dollars.
When Dawn bid, it offered $400 million. Who could compare?
Harvey Weinstein slammed the table. "Stephen Woolley and Neil Jordan really believe in Dawn Pictures?"

Bob Weinstein looked helpless, unable to do anything about his brother's incompetent rage;
How can we compare them? Sugon has money, and in terms of channels, Sugon also owns a lot of shares in Landmark Cinemas. They are totally incomparable.

At the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle" at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, director Nora Ephron and leading actors Tom Hanks and Nicole Kidman are being interviewed by the media!
In the backstage lounge of the theater, Aaron asked Dawn Steele, "Is Jonathan Demme planning to invite Tom Hanks to play the leading role in his script for The Philadelphia Story?"

Dawn Steele nodded, "Yes, it has been discussed, Tom Hanks is very interested in this story;"

"He's always been in comedies and has a lot of passion for this kind of drama!"

Aaron pursed his lips and said, "I'm also optimistic about the male lead in Forrest Gump;"

"By the way, go talk to director Robert Zemeckis. Shuguang wants him to develop this Forrest Gump movie."

The novel "Forrest Gump" has to be adapted into a script first!
"I understand. Also, the first draft of the script for Ridley Scott's adaptation of The Mask of Zorro has been approved."

"He also discussed film ideas with Kevin Costner."

Dawn Steele also reported on the progress of "The Mask of Zorro".

"Well, we need to try to get Kevin Costner to play Zorro!"

Kevin Costner is now definitely a strong guarantee for movie box office success.

With the release of Sleepless in Seattle, it opened with $1720 million and received considerable praise;
The theme of the film is simple, "It's about a kid who plays matchmaker between his widower father and a woman who's reconsidering her fiancé!"

Director Nora Ephron presents a perfect fairy tale love story, which is also influenced by the romantic film "The Golden Age" released in the 1950s.

Some scenes in "Sleepless in Seattle" also imitate the plots in "The Golden Alliance".

In the conference room of Dawn Pictures.

Aaron and Jonathan Demme and others are discussing "Philadelphia Story", and the production budget of $2500 million is enough to shoot;
After all, Jonathan Demme is now also the Oscar-winning director.

"We have already agreed on the male lead, Tom Hanks, but we haven't decided on the supporting actor yet;"

"This role is very important. He is the male protagonist's defense lawyer."

After hearing what Jonathan Demme said, Aaron tapped the table with his fingers and said with a smile: "Since the male lead is an AIDS patient and a homosexual, the supporting actor can be a black man!" AIDS, homosexuality, and black people are enough to be a topic of discussion.

After everyone had digested the news, Aaron continued, "Two years ago, the black actor Denzel Washington, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for the war film 'Glory', was quite good!"

"Denzel Washington," Jonathan Demme nodded...

With the high reputation of "Sleepless in Seattle", the box office has been rising all the way, accumulating 10 million US dollars in 4300 days of release;
And the production cost of the film was only 2000 million US dollars!
Since its release, "Indecent Proposal" has grossed $8500 million at the box office and has begun to be released overseas.

In the evening, in a private room of a high-end club in West Hollywood, Aaron leaned on the sofa, hugged the sexy and plump Monica Bellucci and kissed her, "Have you read the script of "Philadelphia Story"? You go to play the role of the male protagonist's wife;"

"She's considered the best supporting actress!"

"The Philadelphia Story" is mainly a story about two male lawyers, and it also talks about the importance of women's support for men in the family.

Monica Bellucci was very happy because the role of the wife in "Philadelphia Story" could be regarded as her first serious role in Hollywood;

Playing the role of the wife of a gay man suffering from AIDS is also a challenge to her acting skills. She does not need to show her body as she did before.

"Thank you, Aaron!"

Monica Bellucci hugged the man's neck tightly and kissed him, "I have submitted many interviews, but I haven't got a single audition opportunity;"

"It's still the Italian script. I'm responsible for the sexiness and stripping."

Feeling the girl's 36D, Aaron closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth and fragrance. "Well, for now, let's accumulate experience. Some small roles in Hollywood can also train people;"

"In the future, if you come across a good script, you will become famous!"

Monica Bellucci nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."

"Aaron, I'm not picky about roles, and I'm also open to showing my body. Europe is much more open than Hollywood in this regard."

Aaron reached out and lifted her chin, smiling slightly. "How can my woman accept those large-scale erotic films? Do you also want to become a representative of porn stars?"

Aaron sighed as he spoke. Whether it was Sophie Marceau or Monica Bellucci, they both had many works of this kind!
Although Nicole Kidman also showed her breasts when she debuted in Australia, she no longer has such thoughts and ideas.

"Because, I have no choice. Those scripts use my body as a selling point."

Aaron shook his head. "Don't worry. Now that you know me, I should be able to help you find a foothold in Hollywood!"

"By the way, do you know Sophie Marceau?"

Monica Bellucci shook her head and said, "She and I have no connection. I went to France mainly for endorsements and modeling career!"

"Well, I'll introduce you two to each other when I have a chance," Aaron touched the girl's face and had a bold and evil idea in his mind;
The two goddesses of Europe, Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau!
